FUCK Comcast digital cable...

[Ravi]

Okay. I finally tried watching TV after the digital switch. I have Comcast.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong but...I can't punch in Channel 2...nothing happens. If I push channel change down or up too fast I get hiccuped into the same channel. If I hold down the up or down button it scrolls too fast to know what I'm watching. I can't find my favorite channels.

I managed to watch an On Demand episode of The Office but I had to shut off the entire system afterward to be able to select another channel.

And since I can't punch in a channel number I'm stuck scrolling through 999 channels to get to the one I want.

What am I doing wrong, if anything?

Try punching buttons on the remote instead of your keyboard

It sounds like you are fucked!

If I were you, I'd call it quits.

Your main problem is not having Direct Satillite TV.

If I were you, I'd call it quits.

It'd be cheaper, wouldn't it?

Tried that...didn't work. On the manually entered...can't find the guide.

What you know as channel 2 is probably no longer channel 2?

No, it is...I can scroll to it but I can't punch it in. I've got to say this is WAY more annoying than uber-volume commercials...which I'm still getting.

Okay, I'll find my reading glasses and look for it.

its a joke, but you likely have a bad cable box

That's too much work though...can we get the government to fix it.
